"Chapter Twenty-Nine: Breaking the Siege of the Camp"

In the common sense of all kinds of things, love cannot be changed and blocked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Because by nature, love only dies on its own, and it is difficult for any scheme to reverse it.

- Giovanni Boccaccio (a prominent representative of the Italian Renaissance movement, a humanist)

The task of collecting and guarding the enemy prisoners was given to Joshuael's Esthenian legion, and the task of cleaning up the battlefield was completed by Licinius's Roman youth army, a battle that lasted more than four hours and wiped out one of Francis's most elite troops.

This battle between the Roman army and the enemy's elite cavalry once again proved a truth: the light cavalry is not a suitable type of force to prove the attack, and they are only suitable for the main army to fight head-on, and cooperate with the auxiliary attack from the flank.

Or, like Bai Feng's use of Nelson's cavalry, it was mainly used for patrolling on the south bank of the Cangluo River and annihilating the enemy's small reconnaissance forces;

If we want to truly develop an elite cavalry that gallops on the battlefield, we must either follow the heavy cavalry route of the European Middle Ages or the archer cavalry of the Mongol Empire; it is really difficult to play a role in changing the tide of war by relying only on the thin light cavalry.

In addition, in a large-scale field battle, cavalry is actually not suitable for a single appearance on the battlefield, and the army with the cooperation of multiple arms is the main force that dominates the battlefield; the forces in the barbarian world are still too backward in the use of cavalry.

However, this is not a bad thing for Bai Feng, but a good thing for him to be happy about, the last time he fought with Queen Boudicca, the city of Rome captured 6,000 cavalry from Queen Boudicca, and this is the first cavalry unit of the city of Rome.

In this battle with the cavalry troops under the command of Francis, more than 7,000 elite cavalry prisoners were taken into Roman City; after the end of this battle, the Roman army that returned to Rome City could add 7,000 cavalry to the establishment, could Bai Feng not be happy?

Regarding the arrangements for this captured cavalry, Bai Feng had no plans for the time being, and he really didn't have time to think about this, Licinius led his Roman youth army to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then the Roman army continued to advance forward.

Although the army of Rome almost completely annihilated the 20,000 cavalry of the Acenian Kingdom, it was not without fish that escaped by chance, and the main general who was commanding the infantry, after learning that the 20,000 elite cavalry had been annihilated, he decisively chose to negotiate with Upton.

The battle between the Roman army and 20,000 cavalry was enough for the Upton army in the camp to hear the movement, but who could be sure that the Roman army had won the battle without seeing the results with their own eyes?

It wasn't until the enemy commander outside the city sent someone into the camp to ask for negotiations that Upton roughly guessed the outcome of the battle, and in the face of the enemy commander who was willing to negotiate surrender, Upton agreed to all the other party's conditions without hesitation, and invited the enemy commander into the camp for detailed talks.

The enemy commander had the sincerity to take the initiative to negotiate surrender, so naturally he would not hesitate to enter the camp to discuss this matter in detail; tragically, he had just entered the camp with dozens of guards when he was surrounded and killed by a group of hot-blooded nobles who rushed up.

These hot-headed young nobles had long been burned with anger from the attack of the enemy commander, and this rare opportunity to directly kill the enemy commander, how could they miss such a good opportunity.

The enemy commander-in-chief, who had genuinely wanted to negotiate, was killed, and Upton, who had heard the news, was too late to arrive at the camp gate, and the enemy soldiers who had seen the main being killed were quickly evacuated by the other generals.

The anger in Upton's heart was beyond words to describe at the sight of the enemy commander being hacked to death, but before the troops of Rome arrived at the camp, Upton gritted his teeth and held back the anger in his heart.

When the army of Rome staggered to the outside of the camp occupied by the army of Upton, the nobles in the camp hurriedly opened the gate of the camp to welcome the arrival of friendly troops.

At this time, it was already late afternoon, and Bai Feng, who planned to set up camp on the spot, asked the soldiers of each legion to start building the barracks;

"Governor, this is General Upton, the eldest son of General Atabaz. Eggers, who walked into the military tent, first pointed to the young general on his left to introduce his identity, and then pointed to the old man on his right and introduced: "This is Elder Ahyan in the camp." ”

"It turns out that you are General Upton, and you are indeed a tiger father without a dog! I sincerely apologize to you on behalf of the city of Rome for your father's death in the last battle, but after all, we were two hostile sides before, and I hope General Upton will not mind!"

Upton, who had a modest look on his face, made Bai Feng have a good impression of him at first sight, so after Eggers' introduction, he sincerely apologized to Upton for the death of Atabaz in battle, in order to buy the heart of this general.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, Francis deliberately tried to murder my father in the last battle, even without the courage of your army, my father would not have been able to hide from the enemy behind him, and this time I would like to thank you for saving our entire camp!"

This Upton didn't seem to be so honest as he seemed, and while he expressed his thoughts, he didn't forget to praise the army of Rome in front of Bai Feng for their bravery and good fighting, he was much better than his grumpy father.

"Ahem, this, Governor Baifeng, right? I am the representative of all the nobles in this camp, I came here this time to get back the captured cavalry from your army, I wonder when the governor will be able to return those cavalry to us?"

Just as Bai Feng was about to praise Upton a few more words, Yaheng, who had an arrogant face after entering the military tent, finally couldn't help it, and after coughing vigorously a few times, attracting everyone's attention to himself, he said such words with an arrogant expression.

"Your Excellency, is that you? You said that you wanted to get back those cavalry from our Roman army, but they were all enemy cavalry that we had captured ourselves, so why should we hand them over to you?

"Reason?Governor Baifeng, I hope you can recognize your identity, you are just reinforcements invited by Queen Boudicca, and we are the masters of the Aceni Kingdom, even if it is an enemy army that you capture, it is our wealth!"

"Hehe, is it?" Bai Feng, who was laughing angrily, held back the anger in his heart, and only asked a rhetorical question with great contempt, and at the same time, Bai Feng also motioned for Antio and Licinius, who had drawn their swords out of their sheaths, to stand back, and turned their gaze to Upton on the side.

Facing Bai Feng's gaze, Upton took out the long sword at his waist with lightning and killed the ignorant Elder Yaheng on the spot;
